Well I still havent been able to get my starter off....like I said i got the first 14mm bolt off and even borrow a compressor and still with 100 psi, I can't get the damn 17 mm off.....i've used wd40 and tried everything....any suggestions? I can't drive it anywhere so.............anyone is colorado wanna come and help me ?

 

dang I have never heard of that

 

Yea that big bolt is a mother.... to get off. If you cant get it off with a compressor... I dont know. Unless you wanna get a breaker bar and sit on it

 

What the heck?

If you really did use a 100 psi compressor and it didn't come off, best call a tow truck and go to an auto shop and let them do it.

I just used a breaker bar and both bolts came right off.

 

I used an 18" break bar and pulled like hell! You can also use a piece of pipe on the break bar handle to increase leverage.

 

I slipped a 3 foot long piece of 3/4" steel water pipe ($4 at home depot) over the end of a breaker bar, pulled like hell on that and the 17mm finally gave way. It made a loud crack and I thought i'd broken the socket but it was just the bolt breaking loose. I put some anti seize on the threads going back in, and a little Caig Labs Preserv-it on the terminals.
